Rehab Report

SOLVED!

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] After months of falling apart while swearing that there was nothing wrong with him, this male singer has finally gone to rehab. We know where he is and how he’s doing!

He is not in one of the fancy West-coast rehab centers like Promises. He’s in [an East-coast facility north of New York City]. He’s supposed to be here for 60 days and he’s just starting, so he still has to get used to the routine. The facility has sort of an odd mix of rules. There is military-like discipline, but residents have access to the Internet and their social media accounts. That turned out to be a problem for him.

The problem was that instead of focusing on the program, he was continuing to engage with fans on social media. It took a while, but his team finally persuaded him to give that up. They have successfully taken over his accounts, and he is now completely focused on getting well.

SOLVED!

He was supposed to stay for 60 days. He supposedly left after 14 days (although we believe his stay was actually even shorter than that).

As Blind Gossip reported to you a few days ago, Carter was having a tough time staying off of social media while at rehab.

The facility (which we will not name, but which is located in Connecticut) allows patients access to the internet. Carter could not stop using social media to engage with fans.

Worried about his lack of focus and commitment to recovery, his team told him they wanted to take over his account. Cater allowed them to do so… but apparently changed his mind just a couple of days later.

He was spotted in LAX on Wednesday or Thursday, and it is now confirmed that he has checked out of rehab. From The Daily News:

Aaron Carter ‘committed to his wellness’ after checking out of rehab early

Aaron Carter’s reps have confirmed to the Daily News that the “Sooner or Later” singer checked out of rehab after just two weeks. The 29-year-old isn’t giving up on his journey toward wellness, however.

“Aaron has left the facility where he has been working on his wellness. Several legal and personal matters arose that requires his immediate and in-person attention,” representative Steve Honig told The News.

“He is still very much committed to his wellness and will be continually working toward being the best person possible.”

Addicts are liars. That’s all.

Congratulations to MissELace for being first!

All of you who expressed doubt that he would make it through the entire program have now been validated.

Aaron Carter. He looks so much older than his chronological age of 29. He has to be harming his body to look that much older than he is so I truly hope & pray that he gets with the program & it sticks.

Will he make it through the entire program? Yes, if he wants to live a long & healthy life. If he wants to get up in the morning & gaze at a 45 year old face staring back at him from his mirror, then no, probably not. He has to choose his priorities: addiction or living.

Aaron Carter, wow he’s an even more obvious answer. Whoever this man is, I really hope that he’s committed to change, because he must be for rehab to work. And even more I hope his commitment to himself pays off with a clean life and he can be truly proud of himself again.

Though Zayn Malik should be checking into a clinic as well. He’s too talented to just flush his career down the toilet. Zayn won’t be successful as a solo act. Join a band like Joe Jonas and salvage his evaporating potential.
It’s a huge positive that Aaron appears to want to overcome his issues. Giving up social media and focusing on his recovery is encouraging. He’s still young and the world loves a comeback story.

I agree with you about Zayn, although I don’t think drugs are the only factor there. The man has a shy, introverted personality – his mom had to force him to get out of bed to attend the X Factor tryouts. He was never going to be a solo star, which requires a confidence bordering on egomania.

Looks like Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction. You can see from his Twitter feed that he was actively interacting with fans on September 25 and 26, and then it dropped off very suddenly. He didn’t comment on the Las Vegas tragedy, as the other four members of 1D did.

I’m hoping he makes it through the program, although Zayn has had trouble keeping his commitments in the past. He’s got yet another single dying on the charts now from lack of promo.

Optional: I hope he does. His twin sister died do to drugs. Both of them are bipolar, I wonder if his family understand that. Drugs is only part of the problem. They need to deal with the bipolar first, then the drugs problem.

I can’t say I’m bothered either way whether he finishes the program. He should do for his own sake and then he should slip from the public eye. He’s a hasbeen and the only thing he had going was the fact that he was a precocious kid and the girls loved him. If he does finish the program he’d have the best chance of staying sober if he wasn’t in the spotlight.
